1	* The Point Man's SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome near the start where you use [[BulletTime Slo]][[PsychicPowers mo]] to avoid being killed by Alma at the beginning of the game. After that, she makes no more serious attempts on his life and actually seems interested by him. In short, [[DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu you impressed]] [[HumanoidAbomination Alma]] [[UnstoppableRage freakin]] [[RealityWarper Wade!]]
2	** Considering later revelations, it can be assumed Point Man didn't just impress Alma Wade: ''He made Mama proud''.
3	* Blowing a Replica soldier in half with the VK-12 shotgun. Up close. In slo-mo.
4	* 50% of your arsenal qualifies.
5	** The [[EnergyWeapon Particle gun]] burns enemies down to skeletons with ''one-shot'', complete with the awesome weapon report.
6	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFSa3MTPF4Y "Watch out suckers]], [[MoreDakka I've got a mini-gun!"]]
7	** The melee attacks. Or, how-to-break-someone's-spine-with-a-single-kick.
8	** Proximity mines. Instant-squad-kill plus the forshadowing beep of doom, just can't get enough of it.
9	* The things you can pull of in F.E.A.R. is pretty [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlgsmZHVXt4 ridiculous...]]
10	* [[ButtonMashing The fight]] with Col. Vanek in ''Project Origin''. Watch his expression turning from angst to utter horror, while throwing out ClusterFBomb, then subsequently [[YourHeadASplode get his head blown off]] is quite satisfying, given how much of a nuisance he and his ATC death squad has been to you up till this point.
11	* Hearing Replicas, who are supposed to be ruthless supersoldiers, yelling out in fear at the sight of you.
12	* The last hallucination in the first game. Seeing Alma screaming for her child, Harlan Wade's callous disregard for his own daughter, and the camera panning down to show her last name on the file, followed by reappearing in the darkness, and hearing Alma whisper in your ear, "I know who you are." That scene, and the terribly haunting, sympathetic music playing at the same time, is just ''chilling.''
13	* During the final APC sequence at Still Island, where Becket is holding off the Replica forces, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVfwtopf37E this music plays.]] It's a perfect counterpoint, and it's ''awesome.''
14	* That moment when a firefight finally ends, and if the settings are turned appropriately high, there will be an eerie silence as a haze of gunsmoke, shredded paper and concrete dust slowly settles out of the air.
15	* If you're skilled with stealth FPS games, you can sneak into a room full of enemies and, with a combination of slo-mo sharpshooting, grenades, mines and deception, take them all out without a scratch. Doing this repeatedly makes you really feel like you are the son of the most powerful thing on Earth.
16	* About midway through the ''Extraction Point'' expansion, you're fighting your way through Replica-infested subway tunnels, and then Child Alma shows up... to ''help you'', strolling right through an enemy squad, turning them all to LudicrousGibs simply through her mere presence. After spending the main game terrified of her, it's a great feeling to have her on your side for once.
17	-->''[[MamaBear You're safe now.]]''
18	* During the second game, any moment you get to hijack an Elite Powered Armor for yourself.
